FAQs
What is a sustainability strategy?
More than that, an effective sustainability strategy integrates with your core business strategy, with the two initiatives working together towards a joint vision.
Why is a sustainability strategy so important?
Implementing a sustainability strategy is vital for organisations because it aligns business practices with environmental and social responsibility and ethical governance. A sustainable business increases business resilience and the attractiveness of your business for both clients, talent and investors, future-proofing your business for the long term.
What are the key components of a robust sustainability strategy?
The following practices are key to building an informed, robust sustainability strategy:
- Accountability: ensuring a commitment to responsible ethical practices
- Engagement: two-way communication with internal teams and external stakeholders
- Ambition: having a clear vision of how your strategy aligns with your business ambitions
- Resilience: managing risk proactively whilst adhering to best practice
- Momentum: using a roadmap to focus on the next steps
- Impact: understanding how the strategy maximises your sustainability impact
I am keen to create a sustainability strategy, where do I start?
To create a robust, informed sustainability strategy, follow these three key steps:
- Measure your baseline: The first step on the road to having an effective strategy is to understand your current sustainability performance. With a holistic overview, we assess where you currently are and where you can achieve quick wins versus what areas of the business will require longer implementation.
- Clarifying ambition: Articulate and refine your business’s mission, vision, and purpose to set sustainability goals. This helps to gain buy-in from the Board and leadership team, by considering what is important and relevant to senior leadership, helping to prioritise and move forward.
- Create a roadmap that supports the creation of an action plan and targets: Resourcing and funding need consideration, alongside distributing team accountability. This is all within the project management of getting the strategy into action, an essential step to support engagement with your largest team of stakeholders, ensuring shared responsibility.
